Happy Friday, folks!
I have some really exciting news that I wanted to share with all my family, friends, and family friends that love me enough to continue to come back and look at my blog even when I promise to do a better of job of updating it but never do.
("Yeah, I'm going to update it every day this month!"... HAHA.)
I started the summer job search a few months ago. And by summer job search, I mean summer camps because I've spent the last two summers evolving into a Camp Counselor and it's obviously the best job ever. Seeking an upgrade to the local YMCA, I spent hours looking at dozens of Christian sleep-away camps in the Southeast. And then I applied to two.
I entrusted my summer to the Lord, sent in my applications, interviewed, and then played the waiting game.
And HOLY SMOKES, did He provide.
In a little less then three months, I'll be headed up to Rome, Georgia for a week and a half of staff training for WinShape Camps for Communities.

Truett Cathy, the founder of Chick-Fil-A, also founded WinShape. Summer camp is only one of the many facets of this charitable, Christian organization. Since 1985, they have offered sleep-away camps for girls in Young Harris, GA and boys in Mount Berry, GA. In 2007, WinShape Camps added its "community" aspect.
Basically, it is a day camp that travels to over 60 locations in the Southeast and partners with a local church to host a week long camp.
Potentially, my team of 20-25 college students could go to Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, South Carolina, North Carolina, and the list goes on.
On March 15, I will find out who is in my team and where exactly our team will go.
I've had a full 24 hours to process all of this, and it STILL sounds to good to be true.

It blows me away how perfectly the Lord knows the desires of our hearts.
And how desperately he wants to lavish His love and abundant blessings on us.
And how neatly things fall in place when we give him the reigns.
Tonight I'm headed up to Birmingham with a few of my gal pals to spend the weekend exploring.
And then next weekend I get to go home to enjoy a few days of my spring break.
And then the weekend after that I get to hang out with some family friends that will be visiting Tallahassee for a soccer tournament.
And then two weekends after that, I'll be in Boone with some of my favorite people in the world.
My life is way too fun.

AHH! Amanda I am sooo stoked for you! I don't think a more perfect summer job for you could exist! You totes deserve it :)
